Requirements for Official Publishable ABV status<br />

Reliability is a measure of the amount of information contributing to the ABV. The more daughters, testdays<br />

and information about relatives that is included in a bull’s ABV, the higher the reliability. To receive a<br />

publishable APR a bull must have publishable production ABVs.<br />
